ESPN caught Plagiarizing a Real GM story, word-for-word

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!)

Does this surprise anyone?? Basically every tweet Chris Brussard tweets is plagiarized. Dwill tweets he is signing with the Nets 10 minutes later Chris B tweets multiple sources tell him Dwill choose the Nets. He basically does that on 90% of his stories he does that and never gives the local beat writer credit who broke the story. He is basically the same as Legion sports.

I'm still amazed that someone has not stepped up and tried to be a competitor to these idiots. They have gotten so arrogant that they've become lazy. They know they are the only place to get sports highlights and they take advantage of the situation. I can't stand them but I still end up watching them because I don't have a choice. I think many diehard sports fans would embrace a challenger, if for no other reason than it's NOT ESPN.

I think Yahoo Sports passed them in site traffic a long time ago, FWIW.

I think NBC sports network is slowly trying to be a rival to ESPN. They are going to have a NFL show, a MLB show and Bob Costas is going to have an interview show starting after the olympics. They could be a real rival. They stole Michelle Beadle too.
